Weekly and fortnightly cuts, seasonal contracts, crews rather than individuals, and a route that has to stay tight to be worth running.
Lawn work lives or dies on route density and on the season being sold up front. The money problem is rarely the price of a cut — it is the customer who is two visits behind on payment while the crew keeps mowing. Seasonal agreements bill themselves on the cadence the customer agreed to, and cards on file mean the season is collected without anyone chasing it.
No equipment profiles ship for this trade — there is no nameplate to look up. The checklists and forms are yours to write, and the parts of the product built around units and their service history simply stay switched off.

Pre-task hazard assessment completed on site before tools come out: hazards identified, the control for each one, PPE and permits, lockout applied and proven, and the whole crew briefed.
